Part: Reverse light switch

Before starting, open the bonnet of your Citroen C3. Begin by removing the battery cover and the air filter housing by unscrewing the fixing screws and disconnecting the relevant hoses. This will give you access to the reverse switch. Next, disconnect the electrical connector, then unscrew and remove the reverse switch itself to complete the disassembly. To fit the new switch, simply reverse this procedure, and the replacement will be complete.
